PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:The sideboard is produced from high-quality oriented strand board and stainless steel. Besides its functional versatility, the sideboard catches the eye thanks to its different colour variations. In addition, this piece is easily and completely adaptable to your interior. You may either change the colour of the ropes or the wood as regards to your needs.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:Due to its multifunctional use, the most challenging aspect of designing the Sideboard by CreateSpace is to resolve all the technical details and their accurate manufacturing. Also using ropes instead of classic doors led to experimentation with materials, mechanisms, and fabrication techniques. As the opening system was established, multiple iterations of physical models led to definig the distance and diameter of the ropes to ensure a satisfying interaction and transparecy.

CHALLENGE: The challenge was to join the idea of minimalistic design with a functional domain that would not constrain ones personal comfort.
